  • Stephen King’s Glass ­Menagerie
    When an enormous transparent dome settles over a small town in Maine in Stephen King’s new novel, it’s just fine with Big Jim, the local tyrant-in-waiting, and his pet goon squad.
  • The Critic’s Critic
    A valuable new biography of Samuel Johnson, the most eminent of all literary critics.
  • Barbara Kingsolver’s Artists and Idols
    This novel, about a boy’s consequential bonds with Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky, is a call to conscience and connection.
  • Animal Planet
    Amy Gerstler’s poems — skillful in every kind of comedy, yet deeply serious — show a fondness for animals without sentimentalizing them.
  • Happy Days
    An argument that can-do optimism has hardened into a suffocating force that bears little relation to genuine happiness.
